From the character for promptitude and energy te dy the gaished veteran at the head of this ent, and from his brilhant military reputation, ught field, and forming one of reve portions of the history of our country, no ‘was expected than the result has achieved. Waen spring opens—probably by the firft of April—he will be enabied to take the field, his force well equipped and provisioned, full of ardor as they will be, under the iead of so gallant an officer; and then Genera!

From the Jacksonville (0, I.) Scntinel, of the 29th De- ember, received via Shasta, we extract the f:llowing:. Here at tne Souih the campaign goes effectively on. ‘When it became apparent that the force of Indians at ‘The Meadows could not be reached during the deep snows, Major Brue’s battalion was dispored wita a view of cover- img the expored localities, and operating, if possible, ter sowe interior bodies of the enemy. As so0a as different companies reached their positions, scouts ‘Were sevt into the mountains in every direction, and the @ituxtion of several bends ascertained, ard the imms- diate result has been the discovery of three camp;, twojof whieh have been cestrcyed by the troops; the other is Being watched until a reinforcsment can be obtained, when it wili probably share the fate of the others. In- formation having been received of a camp uf Iadians on the vorth sice cf Rogue river, just below the mouth of the Big Butte, and tour miles from the river, a de’ach- ment of thirty four men from Capt. Rice’s company made a@night movement upon them, attacking them at day- ‘break, when off their guar, and, after Sighting about six hours, killed eigh cen, and wounded two others, took ut’ twenty squaws and several children prisone-s, darned their cainp, and obtained one horse. One warrior eseaped unhurt. The Indians had horses not far feom ‘the exmp, but circumstances would not admit of search for them, and they were left. No iojury was sustained by the whites, except that some haada frcven. Lieut. John §. Miller aud Jobn seriously frozen as to be compelled to leave the field for short time. The camp was well supplied with provi , sious, privcipally plunder. No cell for quarter was heard from the Indians during the fight. Whea they found their retreat was cut eff, the only motive seemed ‘to be tofight to the Jast. Not » female was injured, ex- cept one who received a abos from an Indian, and not a meaie too smal! to bear arms. Miscellancous. TraL oF Cas.

One of Capt. Washburn’s snrveyiag party, just in from the Plains, says the girls alluded t> were sili living among the Mohave Indians as recently ‘as inst summer as stated by one of Waiker’s wen by the mam of Frark, «nd that both of them are married to chiefs of thut ibe. A letter from Mr. Weaver would seem t corroborate the rumors that the girl are still siving. 1t is almost imcredible that the com- ‘manding officer at Fort Yuma rhould odject, or re- fuse to negotiate for the emancipation of two Americas wemeo from worse than ‘o slavery. Mr. Oatman, the brother, is desirous of raising a party t» go oat and effect the freedom of his siswers from Indian bondage. ‘We sincerely hope he may be successtal.

Markets and Commerefal Summary. SAN FiUNcisco, Jan. 21, 185. We copy the following commercial summary from the Heraid:— Since the eailing of the last steamer on the 5th of the month, there bas been no speciai variation in the dull routine of trade, ruch as maintained up to the close of the year, Uhere bas been at times a momentary activity, lasting for a dey or two, and caused mainly by the com- ing to bana of overdue vessels, on board of which have been contained various invoises of choice staple goods. Berides this, there has been another incentive for par- chasers to enter the market. Woat firmmess soever had been maintained up to the first of the year in consequence of the utter absence of all dewasd for the interior gave way, and holders of merchandise had to submit to « very material declination of rates. Oa this account fitfal amount of ciminution has occurred, which, however, has at present entirely died sway, the clos of the last week presenting but a scanty arrry df transactioas, ani at figures, forced a8 the sales ‘havo been in many lastances to meet the preeent enge¢otnents of steamer day, snow- jpg a iil] farther redaction on earrent prices. The arrivals of the fortuignt have peen eight in num- 5 ber, embracing the Winged arrow, Samuel App'eton and Defender frora Boston, the Joon Stuart and Mocning Star from New Yor', the Baagalore from Glasgow, Exi.y Miner from Valparaiso, and biward Koppieck trom Ba- tavia, As might bare been expected, these arrivals have not taken plare without affecting she maraet in an unfavorable depron In China produce eapeciatiy, we are likely to accumulate stocks for the consumption of years instead of months. In aidition to ths very heavy smounta of sugar and rice brought by the Koppisch, there are several full ships known to be on the way from Chincse ports, which will undoubtedly bring fresh and heavy accessions to stovks on hand of the articies alluded to. Gold dust continues scarce, the consequence, ina grest measure, of the various citches and flumes in the mining regions having been froven up by the revere weatner, which, it appears, bas prevailed as well in the interior as on the corst, this winter. Ere many days roll round, this, however, must be remedied, ax the recent rains have been abundant and warm, and everythiug has been in readiness for the prorecution ot # burrisd aad suc sesfal gold digging season. Money was not #0 excessively strin- genton this last steamer day as had beea geaerally ex , the amounts collected not proving as heavy as oa former Occasions, and besidoe oonsideradie pains having been taken beforehand to meet the reqatrementa 0’ the Gay. In realestate, the great feature, and we may say the only feature in @ very great length of tims has been the sale of the Folsom esta‘e, at auction, which took place since the sailing of the lact steamer. The propecty in question c snaisted of lots and balldings {a almost every portion of the city, and for weeks beforehand its dixpo- sal waa looked forward to with much inrerest and anxi- ety, it being generally believed that the throwing at once of such @ Very large quantity of resl estate on the market woult necessarily estaolish a basis and determine the value of lands within the city. The sale was langa! attended, and in consequence of being bid up by all sorts and clastes of our community, embracing tne millionsire, who with his unemployed thonsands was vecking investment, and the honest working mechanic, who, only posseesing lis hurdreds, bough’ for the privi- lege of a bome, and all more or lees cognizant of the me- rita or Gemeriia of the property sold on the score of actus) occupation as tenants—in eonsequemce, we say, of those attencant circumstances, the estate sold at remarkably high prices.

Mr. Marcoleta has evidently felt himeel! prose? by these questions, which mus: have come unbidden to mar the pleasures of the occasion, Like a pradent maa, therefore, he has icvented » government, cabinet, army, &c., and located them at the ancient city of Segovia, in which neighborhood, doubtless, the sonilicte occurred in which Gen, Walker was twice repulsed and the brave old Ghilion slain. Well, this will do for a while. For one steamer it may serve the necessities of Mr. Marcoleta’s personal situation end cf Mr, Marcy’s Givlomacy; tat what then?

The bieyrapher of the present enterprise inust write ihe truth and it you cherish aught respect for th friencship of succeeding generations, the moral reputa- tion of the arzy will be maintained. The voice and pen of slander have found no ground for utterance thus far, for the self-respect of the Amerioans has preserved the enterprise from all appearence of wrong. The truthful nature of the volunteer revolts at the perpetration of ia- justice, particularly on the defevcelese; and when the dis. orderly spizi: bresks out ina fewexesptionable cases, the frowning faces cf the citizen soldie-s soon admonishes the culprit that he can commit no wrong with impunity.

Central America. Libels have been industsiously circuiated against the American name, And the presen: revolution must affirm or ceny heir verity. So far, we have sustained a noe defeace —the record of cur history stancs unimpeached before the impartial chroniclers. Why thouid it nos be? The morale of the army is ex- celient—the energy of the War Depsttment allows the men to want for nothing—sumptuour rations and a bonn- iful supply of gcod clothing~good wages, payable in Jand or money. when the government is more thorougaly remodellec snd the public surveys are perfectec—a week- ly bounty of tobacce and money—s claim to two hun. cred acres of laud at the expiration of their eniistment— superior quarter*—but little duty and less care—what mere could be asked? We are happy to know, from personal observation, that the men ask for nothirg further, unlesa it be uctive service. Seme of the troops ask for marching orders, without reflecting that all is peace, and the Gener: has too much care for the men to expore them to the tials ef a journey during the present sickly xeason. All ts coing for the best, ord while the present quiet and créerly ccncust continues to govern the intercourse of the soldiers with the citizens ot Grunaca, we are perfect- ing & greater victory than it the red hand of ruinous war subjectea the enemies of peace to the decrees of the government. ‘Ihe hearts of the divaffected serviles are being won to peace anc quiet. It is » revolution effected by mental conflict. The soldiers ate therefore mighty agents for good, and we desire to impress upon them the necessity of continuirg as they have commenced. The reputation of the Awerican name is to be saved from the sianderous defamation of foreign tongues—the respect and confidence of our fellow citizens in Niceragua must Le acquired—the historian 8 to be thought of—and our own conrcences preserved clear and biameless. ‘The integrivy of the soldier’s 1eputation should there- fore be bis pride—like his mu-ket, it should be ready tor imspection whenever the Communder ia.Chief inspects the mpks for a soldier to fillthe vacant posts of hon:r.

We must be gay; acd whenever the race svands still, food for these two elemeo's murt be furnished. In Grauaila we bave but few means of amusement as yet; but what we have are improving. The claims of the aguadieute shope ate gradually loo-ivg hold, and the boys ack now for a fande: go or a cock-fight. The lively sounds of music echo in ali quarters of the city, at night, and dancing parties are coming into vogue quite fast. "Two or three every week afford seeres of enjoyment. and the bebaviour of all hands has been exceedingly gratifying. No breaches of the peace—no disorder or drunkenness— but a quiet observance of the respect dus to the natives, and to therseives, hae been the rule of conduct. Ths natives have their own dances, and they are allowed to goon unmolested. But we bave pleasure in announcing the possibility that a theatrical company will soon be started in this city by # party of amateur performers, assisted by three or four old #tsgers. We have several well known actors in the city, under whose guidance a company might be organized, with price to the army and prcfit to the pro- Jectors.

OOFFEE CULTURE AND CROPS IN CENTRAL AMERICA. {From E1 Nicaraguense, Jap. 19. In the year of our Lord 1843, an intelligent English traveller, in detcribing bis pligrimuge through Central America, ssid of a sister State—' Costa Rica, or the rich coast to the south of Nicaragua, seems named ironically, Veing in a state of extreme poverty.” Some years Inter. the distinguished Senor Mora, then and now President of that republic, prohibited the raisiug of plantains for sani- tary end other reasvns, and caused a governmental de- cree to be pated encouraging the culture of coffee. “ With lingering steps and slow” the hill sides about Cartago and San Jose were cleared and planted with coffse slips, and to-day a thousand coffee planters are epjoying acompetency from the net income of the estates taus compuleurily established, The export of coffee for this year, »t Punte Arenas, on the Pacific, we are aasured, ‘will not fall short of eighteen millions of pounds, The cofice plant is a native of this coutinent, and the impression which some have that it is inferior to the easierr—os, for example, the Java and far famed Mosha —{s erroneous. On the contrary, the coffee raised on the highlands in Nicaragua and Custa Kica is unsurpass- ed for s‘tengih and a delicate aromatic flavor , unknown to the best coffee of the East; and the fruit of the low- lends and mecium elevations is far from inferior. We have recently bad the pleasure of inspecting, at the Department of Coicnization,vome epecimens of cotive from the hacien- das of Padre Vejt end Don Pamptlio Lacayo, grown upon the plams in the neighborhood of Granada. Although not having the plump Jorm or the pecuiiar bluish tiage which are tbe characteristics of the tavorite coffee of the high lance, it compares tavorably with the coffee of Ja or the Moluccas. ‘The cultivarion of coffee will undoubtedly engage the attention of many of our first colonists. ‘It will, how- ever, be gradually undertaken, aa it requires three years betore the firet crop can be reaped. In the meantime the planter may gather a zich harvest from other articles of culture of apeedier growth—such as rice, corn, tobacco, ineigo, &c. Ounce in bearing, the tree is sure to produce acertain revenue for haita century, The original out- lay in cetabiishing # coffee walk in but triflog in this country, where the slips for planting can be obtained gratuitously. The average annual yield per acre—after the trees Tiave attained maturity—in 750 to 800 Ibs. to the acre, and one person can easily attend to two or three acres. The following descripiuon of the metho! of reaping and preparing the coffee harvest tor market is frem Strangewsy’s cescription of this country, published n Edinburgh in 1822:— Ax soon as the berries acquire the color cf a black-red on the trees. they are supposes to be sufficiently ripe for pickixg. The laborers employed in this business are provided each with & canvase bag, with a hoop in the wouth to keep it open. It is hung about toe nook of the picker, who empties it ocewsioua ly into a basket; and if be ia incuetrious, be may pick three bushels in the day. But it is desiraple he should take time, otherwise a great ceal of unripe fruit wili, in that cave, be mixed witn the ripe. Ibe neual practice is to pick the trees at three dif terent stages of ripeness. One hundred bushels in the pulp, fresh from, the tree, will give about one thousand bounces weight of merchantable coffee, ‘There are two methodr in use of curing oc drying the heep—the ene is 10 epread the fresh coflve in the eun, ia +yerr abeut five inches deep, on « sloping terrnoa,’ or riatform of boards, with the palp on the berry, which fn & few days ferments and discharges iteelf into a siroog acidulon® moisture, and in this state the coffer is left, until it is perfectly dry—if the weather is favorable, it will be dn aoout three weeks.
